I can't say i've ever had issues. I have a partner I go through who have a bunch of EMC certified people who can advise and spec solutions. The only time they generally go back to EMC is when I say "How much?! That's no good, I'll have to buy Dell instead".;) to get a pricing request.
I'd go for raid 6 if write performance isnt a huge issue (which it sounds like it's not). It's considered unwise to run raid 5 with anything over 1 TB, rebuild times can leave you very vulnerable to a second drive failure...
I've never understood people saying netgear switches are no good. I guess its fashionable. We use/used them at many sites and have found them very reliable - I cant recall one ever failing.
Re HP: The 1910v-48g is a great switch. Not impressed with the 1810s though.
We have two sites in China. Beijing and Shanhgai. We use Cisco DMVPN to link them with the rest of the world using (generally) 2911 routers
Most of the time it works however we do occasionally see the odd bit of packet loss, or the tunnels dropping for a a few seconds or longer. Longer...
Look at veeam backup and replication. Obviously this works only for virtual stuff and I think you'll struggle with that small a pipe.
You need (as a business) to review the risk, define critical applications and servers, define the maximum down time you can live with and use that as a...
I've had my z10 since the day it came out. Took a little getting used to but not too long. I have to say I love the phone. It's fast, responsive has a great browser and it just fits perfectly in the hand - way better than the ergonomically dreadful samsung S2/3.
Its a company phone and...
Weird this. We have two offices out there (Beijing and Shanghai) and we can access them fine (well, as good as normal - drops are common as is unexplained packet loss).
We're using Cisco DMVPN.
Another vote for EMC from me. I have CX3, CX4 and now VNX SANS.
The VNX is a lovely bit of kit and simplicity itself to manage.
I cant understand how you could complain about support. I have found EMC support to be awesome to the point of being woken up by them in the middle of the night...
:) Yeah, i remember when I had over 100 machines at work all crunching. Twas good in those days.
But as small start I have installed seti@home running on a G6 DL380 Dual Quad core server.
A few more to follow.:)
Hi
I have a few machines that i'd like to get doing something but i've been away from DC for soooo long I don't know what all the cool kids are crunching these days...
Seti, folding...
I'd like some sage advice please ;)
We lost our gigabit connection for about an hour. I'd previously opened a support ticket as they were having latency issues most of the day at telehouse. They phoned me and I was told the issue was failure of the cooling system that cooled a core switch system which resulted in the kit...
